THE BIRDS NEST sWIFrLEr.
How the Chinese Really Make Soup of
Dried Saliva.


Dried Saliva.
Cornhill Magazine.
+ The truly edible birds nest swlftles is
native of CeylOn and Of the Malay re-
gion, and it builds in caves where ma
teri8ls for architecture are necessarily
scanty, or on sea cliffs of inaccess-
ible height. More than most other swiits,
this tropical species is a confirmed high
flyer, hawking for its food around
much indisposed to settle on
the ground under any pretexs.
Hence it has learned to carry to the
furthesJ possible limit the family habit OF
making nest quite literally sail out Of
its own head" without the slightest
eXtraneOus aid of any sort.
The best and cIeanest nests, which
fetch the highest price, are composed
entirely of pure mucus from the salivary
glands. The material in it's hardened
state is brittle, fbrous, white and trans
parent, every like pure gum arabic, Or
even glass;" and the inner lining consists
of nothing but small soft feathers. In
feriOr nests, which command a smaller
price in the Chinese market, are COM
posed in part Of dry grasses, hair and
down, welded together by the fbrOus,
gummy secretion. In short, as Mr.. Oar
win bluntly puts it, "the Chinese make
soup Of dried saliva" This sounds hOr-
rid enough, to be sure, but when we our
selves give up c0lOring jellies with de-
funCt cOChineal insects it will be time for
US to cast the first stone at the Oriental
cuisine,

DENVER, Col, March 30.-It is re-
ported that Marine Leyba, a notorious
outlaw and desperate and leader Of the
gang who terrorized Central New Mexico

Leyba on a mountain while on the look
out for him. When ordered to surrender,
the outlaw pulled his pistol, and Montera
and the officer pulled theirs. The three
shots sounded like one. MOntera got e
bullet through his hat, but Leyba fell

lynched. Leybs, the fifth member, hid in
the mountains, but came out and began

Cholera-A Strike Threatened.
Special to the Gazette.
Ell PAso, March 3O.-The contractors
of the city have been notified by the
Bricklayers' Union that beginning with
May 2 the bricklayers will demand &
reduction from ten TO nine hours for a
days work, the wages to continue at the
present figure, So a day. A wealthy
contractor was asked what they proposed
to do about it. He answered that they
WOald be willing to yield to the reduction
in hours if the wages were proportion
ately reduced from So to $3.50, otherwise
he thought the demand would be resisted.
1t now looks as though there would be a
big strike. As there is great deal Of
building going on all over the city it will
entail considerable trouble. All brick
layers VINO come here have to join the
union to get work, as the union will not
work with nOn-union men.
DR.. Rutherford, quarantine officer,
has appointed DR.. Rice quarantine
officer in this city and has ordered
quarantine against the cholera
epidemic in South America. Beginning
tomorrow, all trains from the west and
south will be closely inspected to see that

Since the vote the question of the legality
of the election has Oeen raised, purely on
technical points. The County Commits
sioners to-day ratified the result of the
election, and one of the most popuIous
precincts in the county, outside of Waco,
goes under "drv" rule again.

against several as yet unindicted bood-

gress made by the grand jury in the in
quiry into the county frauds, it was
stated by al attache of the states att0r-
ney's office this morning that the re-
manning batch of indictments, and posi-
bly, the final ones, will include between
fifteen and twenty names, and positively
the majority of the present council, with
half a dozen or so of the old g8ng
1t has already been found desirable to
change somewhat the indictments thus
far found, and this morning, on the basis
OF the evidence brought cut yesterday
afternoon, new charges were interpolated
against certain commissioners, and in
every case these new charges were bri-
berry. Decisive admissions were obtained
from d. w. KeaD, a banker, who, in
rarrating transaction in which
he purchased $4,000 county war
rants, involved a couple of b0Odlers
as parties among whom this money was
divided. 1t has been the effort all along
to tndiCt as manY Of the boodIers as the

bribery, flor that is the most serious charge
that can be sustained against the gang.
For these convicted Of bribery there is no
escape from the penitentiary and it is
desired to send the gang to that place.
